About Sophie
Sophie Archer is a counsellor who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, sleep difficulties and relationship concerns. She also helps with trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addiction and issues around identity and intimacy. Sophie works from a person-centred base and aims to make sessions feel straightforward and respectful.
She uses a mix of approaches to match what each person needs. Sophie draws on attachment ideas to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. She uses cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioural changes. Dialectical behaviour ideas and mindfulness practices are used to help with emotional regulation and coping in difficult moments.
Sophie has five years of experience working in mental health and is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She works with people who are facing parenting stress, eating and food-related issues, ADHD, chronic pain and life transitions among other concerns.
In sessions she focuses on building trust and on practical steps that fit into everyday life. Sophie treats each person as the expert of their own story and helps them identify strengths to move forward. The approach is collaborative and paced to the individual.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on the therapist's availability. Fees vary by location and the service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Sophie integrates attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioural methods alongside person-centred work. Attachment-based approaches look at how early relationships shape patterns in close connections and help people change recurring interaction habits. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behaviour changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety or disrupted sleep.Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. Sophie will talk through your goals and preferences, and together you can try methods that feel most useful. She aims to adapt her work to what helps you make steady changes rather than imposing a single model.
Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions around work, childcare and daily routines. Online counselling can make it easier to have shorter check-ins, drop-in skills practice or longer weekly meetings without travel time. Confirm the current session options before booking to be sure of the formats offered, and Sophie will help tailor the rhythm and style of sessions to everyday life.
